Under the beneficent McKinley tariff law these five words mean a great deal more-to the people of this country than the empty words, 'Cutlers to Her Majesty," which is stamped upon the cutlery which has heretofore been so largely used here. The former words are full of patriotism, the latter but an empty honor.

TRUMAN. A TARRIFF BANQUET. THE dinner given by the American tariff League, according to the New "3Tdrk Press was American. '-That the dinner was thoroughly American has been said, yet that statement can bear some elucidation. Everything used at it, from" the tablespoons to the cigars, was the product of American labor, from American material, made in American shops, obtained from American fields, streams Can forests, and from American vineyards: All was of the finest quality obtainable.

The silenced the scoffer vrho claimed that it would be impossible to carry out such Can idea with only American goods. To begin did, when he set the table and laid the white cloths upon which the spread was set, it is found that these tablecloths and napkins were madeuponNew England looms in Fall River. In material, make finish these fully equaled the work turned out by foreign mills. Trenton, N. J.

firms contributed thejjplates, china fruit dishes, -cups, saucers and other accessories. The sets varied in designs, each a of workmanship, and all testifying to the skill of the American artisan. The firms that turned them out are the Ott Company, of which ex-Congressman Brewer is president; Burroughs Mountford. Willetts Manufacturing Company, Mercer Pottery Company and the Trenton China'Company. Among the class of ware were two elegant flower vaees filled with exotics and placed upon the presiding officer's table.

Each of these, at least eighteen inches in height, rivaled the best products of and Sevres.

The glassware, uuder the soft rays lights, and whose sounded a reproach to the free traders during the entire evening, were -ed out by works in Major McKinley's own State, Ohio.

Upon the polished which sparkled of the electric merry tinkling THE business like management of the Water Works should be continued. The election of John E.

Barnes as member of the Water Works board best secures this. Mr. Graffis is more generous than just, more impulsive than deliberate and his active political tendencies are not calculated to work to the advantage of the system. IT will certainly be to the interest of Loganspovt to have for Mayor a man who has voluntarily devoted time and labor to the city's interest. There is plenty of public spirit in Logansport if it is aroused as it is in the Assembly Park matter.

Mr. Webster is the man for Mayor. VOTE for Swadener and Lunsford and a good administration. They are well qualified to perform the duties of the offices. MR.

President Polk, of the Farmers' Alliance, has issued an address to the farmers. The most important recommendation made is that 35,000 lecturers be appointed to keep the alliance members posted as to what they ought to do.

With this recommendation indorsed he would have a nice little army of 35,000 men living oS the farmers and doing his Ocean. Wliy Some Cheap arc Dear.

ILLINOIS MLTERS ON STRIKE. ST. Louis, May from Duquoin, 111., say the most stubbornly- contested coal-miners' strike ever had in this district has been inaugurated. The contest is to enforce an eight-hour day and pay every Saturday. The men say they will stay out until the law is upheld and their demand granted.

The operators say the law is unjust and will fight it the United States supreme court. In accordance with orders from the operators of the fourteen mines here, all miners and mine laborers have cleaned up their various places and taken out their tools. These mines have served notice that they will lie idle until the 1st day of November and but one mine (the Egyptian) will be running on this prairie or in this district. This mine a new one, pays its men weekly, works the eight-hour day and is having all work done under contract.

FLOTiKxcE, May police oi Florence dispersed a mob of 1,000 workmen, who fled, but broke all the store windows on the routes of tbeir flight. All places of business in that city were hastily closed in anticipation of further disturbances, LOJTDOX, thorough preparations made in this city and in every European capital to avert any violent outbreak in connection with May-day demonstrations had an excellent effect. The holiday was universally a by working-men in every country, and they filled the streets everywhere.

The general prohibition of outdoor demonstrations, however, prevented any gathering likely to lead to violence or disorder. Dispatches received here from 'all over the continent report as quiet a as could be expected on such a holiday. Socialists and anareh- ists contented themselves with issuing manifestoes, with some noisy declamations in wine-shops, and did not allow themselves to forget that the police and military were held in readiness everywhere to suppress any trouble at a moment's notice. Arrests during the last few" days of many of the most rabid leaders served also to keep their ardor in check. Berlin advices state that everything was quiet, most of the worknen going about their occupations as usual and reserving any celebration for Sunday.

At Westphalia', the striking miners assembled in force at an early hour, but were promptly dispersed by the police. In Vienna workiagmen's meetings were held in the morning, and in the afternoon there was a demonstration by the white population of Vienna in the Prater.

The military reserves were summoned and held to await events. ROME, May day opened very, quietly in Rome.

The shops were thrown open for business as usual and the streets were filled with orderly holiday-makers. There were no signs of disturbance in any part of the city. The news from the adjacent towns was to the general effect that the great labor day passed off without any disturbing incident having transpired. PAKIS, May dynamite bomb was ing the period which immediately followed the suppression of the commune. Paris, in fact, seemed to be in an active state of siege, for in addition to the cavalry and police patrols, the many infantry regiments now garrisoned in this city were held under arms with rifles throughout the night and they are still in readiness at a moment's notice to occupy the strategic positions previously assigned to them.

The police are not idle, if the troops are being mainry relied upon to quell any possible disturbance. Acting upon the theory that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, the police arrested about 30 0 anarchists, socialists and other persons coming under the category of "dangerous characters." These men will be held as prisoners until all signs of danger have passed in order to prevent them from inciting riots or in any other way taking steps which might lead to a disturbance of the peace. VIENNA, May 1. forty meetings of workingmen were held in this city. They were largely attended and peaceable.

The speeches urged the eight- hour day and unjversal suffrage, and the unrestrained freedom of the press. Resolutions embodying the demands of the recent Paris labor congress were adopted.
